He replaced one thing for another and wanted to argue about the other thing. This is called a Strawman Logical Fallacy. The part about having a dildo up my ass is an Ad Hominem Logical fallacy.
That's not an example of Strawman. You arguing that it is a Strawman then wanting to turn the argument to that instead of the point made [that simply mentioning something doesn't create it] is a Strawman.
Incorrect. My statement is specific and unambiguous. You are attempting to replace this specific thing with something else, and then argue about that. This is precisely what a Strawman Argument is.
But, back to the dildo that is lodged in your ass... like your god, can you prove that it doesn't exist?
You failed to define the context of your claim.
It's not a strawman, he was simply asking if the logic of "the forumlation of the existence of ENTITY neccessitates the existence of an omnipresent candidate for ENTITY which can not be excluded" holds for examples other than "God".
You believe that his comment about a dildo being up your ass is Ad Hominem. Is he truly attacking your character? Or perhaps he's applying the colloquial Poal terminology of using gay shit for everything. I did not see it as an attack on your character. But, you did.
I made a specific and concise statement which is true. You even agree to this fact, so that is settled. And yes, the other part is an Ad Hominem. You are simply being pedantic now.
You play by your own rules and call it logic
